An Eastern Airways spokesman said: ‘As two of our flights were approaching Aberdeen Airport to land a laser from the ground was aimed at them. Our pilots reported the incidents to police as they were extremely concerned that safety could be compromised during the landing approach by the irresponsible actions of an individual on the ground.’
